Framework of Reference

With more than 100 affiliated institutions throughout Brazil and more than 50 in other Latin American countries, AETAL confirms a strong representation in the main evangelical denominations.Thus, in order to further solidify this representation in the theological educational area of the continent, the Board of Directors created a framework of reference that, after consultation and acceptance of each guest, is composed of six renowned personalities from the Brazilian theological medium andof other Latin American countries, and an external representative (USA).The members of the Board of Directors serve as board members of the AETAL board and provide valuable support to the AETAL-related activities across the continent.All members are strongly committed to evangelical theological education in their respective countries of residence.

Get to know a little of each one of its members, which the AETAL board of directors thanks very much.
